bullywee Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 This show is utter, utter shite. There are videos on youtube of the actors in the clip below, and they are actors, getting together to tell of how badly they were treated by the absolute lunchbox that presents the show. IIRC they only got paid like $500 each for it or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor1874 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Was all this recent? To be honest, I'd never doubted it before. I think the original concept was completely unique and real. However when the most recent series started getting aired the episodes did seem a bit weird. A bit more dramatic than before. Were they maybe trying to hard for ratings they resorted to using unknown actors? Certainly seems that way now. It's a shame because a show which has been so educational so to speak to warn the dangers of online relationships is now basically a sell out. Got to love the good old USA.

JamieStevenson Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Catfish comes back next month (not sure about UK release). I know it's fake as f**k but it's still pretty gripping and quite often amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Catfish comes back next month (not sure about UK release). I know it's fake as f**k but it's still pretty gripping and quite often amusing. It's a good idea but ffs, can't these people do a google search themselves? That is literally all Nev and Max do.

Yeah they probably could but I think the main reason we're supposed to believe that the people need Nev & Max is for them to set up a meet. It's funny how easily the person on the other end of the phone gives in. Nev: If we come out to ************ can we meet you? Other person: Yeah sure. Obviously we're all interested in who's going to answer the door when they get there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It's back! (US pace). This show really is hilarious because of how ridiculous it is and this season looks like it'll be a cracker. This is the only tv show I find enjoyment in it being so bad. Still no doubt in my mind that Nev is a total c**t. In Max's absence we will likely have to endure a string of useless guest hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they not have some actress on one of the episodes before? I seem to remember she just sat in the corner. Useless addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It's a good idea but ffs, can't these people do a google search themselves? That is literally all Nev and Max do.Some of the folk they meet are just genuinely idiots My favourite was the guy who said "oh I've been talking to this girl she's sent me a few pictures of herself" Shows first picture: Okay Shows second picture: Nev: That's a different person. Idiot: I don't think so. Nev: No, it's a different person. Shows third picture: Max: That's Vanessa Hudgens. Idiot: Oh Plus the people on there generally seem more interested in meeting the person rather than just finding out if they're genuine or not. I imagine it's a bit easier to do that when you have the backing of the show behind them when they go to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It starts tomorrow night 9pm on MTV in the UK. I cheated though and watched it online there. Have to say it's a good start of the series for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikedafc Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Seems MTV are looking for stories for a British version of show but obviously without Nev and Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Really amazing that this show is still going. I like that people still don't have the brains to do a few quick Google searches. I get that naturally if you were talking to someone you'd just assume they're genuine. If someone just completely out of the blue just started talking to me though I'd be very suspicious (especially after seeing this show) and I'd be looking to find out everything about them. There was an episode recently which was truly bizarre. A group of 3 people setting up a Grindr profile to try and catch out cheaters (they never caught any) but just decided to keep chatting to this one guy anyway for the lols.
